Such nostalgia in this book. I remember reading it around 7th grade and feeling like the worst thing that could happen to me in school was scoliosis. Those were the days. This book is obviously very dated but Judy Blume talks about accepting people with differences in a way that doesn‘t hammer you over the head with it and that‘s what makes her great. Deenie‘s mom and her obsession with modeling also reminded me of modern day travel sports moms.

CatMS I must admit I have never read any Judy Blume. In my youth it was Trixie Belden, Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, and biographies of famous women. Then I went to adult books as both my mom and dad were readers. 21h

Bookwormjillk @CatMS we used to pass them around in 3rd and 4th grade 21h

Librarybelle Oh! I‘ve not read this one by her! 17h

so-so

Boy, this book is sure dated. As an educator, I am glad that we have come a long way from the type of bullying that happened in the book. Well, at least in the schools around my area have made progressed. The meaness of the young characters didn't surprised me, but the behavior of the adults at the school did. It was a decent read. Not my favorite of Judy Blumes, though.

Banned Book Edition

All welcome

Yes I know this is currently author a month didn‘t know that when I put out schedule in October of 2024

One of my most beloved Judy Blume moments with students happen when I read this book with or aloud to students of ALL AGES. They ADORE it. In my 36 years of volunteering at the public school I have never found this book in any school library.

I would say I need a shower from the ick, but that reminds me of Margo‘s hot tub and no.

Are you there, God? It‘s me, Daria. Everyone in this book is bananas.

What a tricky character that Sharon is! 🤣

Cute lil children‘s book on the principal of the grass is always greener. As a person with a lot of freckles, I‘d be ready for that magic remover, too. 😆 #AuthorAMonth

Wild how much has changed (and stayed the same) for elementary age kids since this was published. It made me cringe, chuckle, wince, and desperately wonder where were the adults. 🫣 #AuthorAMonth

Soubhiville I remember a lot of adult free time, even on the playground at school. It would have been in the early 80‘s for my elementary school years. 2w

Melismatic It‘s true. Blume‘s writing really feels truthful to the childhood experience. @Soubhiville (edited) 2w

tpixie @Melismatic yes- she captures their essence. 1w

Just me reliving my childhood thanks to Dollar Tree. My best friend and I were obsessed with Judy Blume in the fourth and fifth grade. Judy was the messiah to Gen X. I have been feeling down lately so I guess the nostalgia is hitting me hard. I wonder if I can find a tree to climb so I can sit and read. ☺️ #judyblume #genxreader
